C|prime did an amazing job in planning the menu for Dine Out Vancouver. I have to say hands down easily win over all the big name restaurants in Vancouver. The restaurant ambiance is upscale, high-end, romantic and ofc on point Italiano. We were seated at the prime spot of the restaurant, where we can see every chef putting all their dedication and precisely put your food together on your plate. I don't have to tell you how good the food is, the pix tell you all about it. I only wish these dishes are on their regular menu. read more

Went there for a special occasion. Located inside a hotel, it is quite spacious and not difficult to get to. Surprisingly not crowded at all. We ordered a porterhouse, Italian style with plenty of herbs, with deep fried rice balls, spicy pasta, potato pave, and beef carpaccio. All the side dishes tasted good. Nothing special but taste was nice. We were disappointed that they overcooked the steak, the one thing we came here for. Could have done a better job to not waste the precious ingredient. But extra points to the service staff for re-making another one for us. read more

The steak was good. Not $100+ amazing, but didn't suck. It's a small restaurant inside a hotel vibe, so take that as you will. The sides are portioned for sharing- 1 could easily feed a table of 4. We chose this place specifically for the truffle mac, & regretted our decision. The server was a trainee, so they get a pass read more

Went here for dine out and our server Zac was amazing. Made the night very fun and memorable for our friend's birthday! Their dine out menu was delicious and portions were just enough. Our favourites were the carpaccio and tiramisu!! read more

Excellent service! Beautiful fancy and swanky ambiance but the staff was far from pretentious. They were so welcoming of our two year old toddler, especially our server Carol and the busser (I didn't catch his name). The food was yummy, and left me curious to taste their other dishes as well. I'd return if ever in the area. They played Frank Sinatra style music in the background -- very fitting for the feel of the place. read more

This was a delicious Italian meal while staying in Vancouver! The service was consistent and they were able to accommodate my party which changed size several times. We ordered the chicken, brussel sprouts and lamb ragu pasta. The pasta and chicken were the highlights. The Brussels sprouts could have had a little more flavor and crispiness. The setting was cute - I didn't realize it was in a hotel until we got there. read more

I ended up having breakfast 5 days in a row here and getting lunch to-go on my final day in Vancouver because this restaurant was located in the lobby of the hotel I was staying at, and my hotel stay came with complimentary breakfast, courtesy of C Prime. Every meal we had here was fantastic and the service impeccable. Yes, this restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, but the ambiance, service, food, and presentation justify the costs, especially for special occasions. The breakfast menu is not extensive but still has enough variety. Our favorites were the blueberry pancakes with lemon curd and cream, the smoked salmon bagels, the steak and eggs, and the Italian baked eggs with burrata and pesto. The avocado toast was surprisingly a weak link - I'd avoid that in the future. Overall, our long relaxed breakfasts at C Prime were a highlight of our Vancouver vacation and an experience I look forward to recreating whenever I visit Vancouver next. read more

We had breakfast twice this week - very happy with what we ordered: Monday: bagel & lox and avocado toast and on Tuesday: bacon and sunny up eggs & original benny. We had dinner at the same restaurant on Sunday night and were not impressed with the food. My husband ordered the octopus appetizer. He told me it was too salty, so I tried a bite and was it ever salty! My husband always adds more salt to whatever I make at home, so for him to say the octopus was too salty was saying something. He ordered the cavatelli for his main and he also said it was too salty, but not as much as the octopus. I ordered the Rossdown chicken and the chicken was juicy and tender (excellent!) but the sauce under the meat was also too salty! The service we got was excellent, nothing to fault there. read more

Came on a Saturday for brunch. The restaurant was mostly empty. Their prices for brunch are very reasonable. I had the chicken and waffles. The waffles were definitely not my cup of tea. The were really strong on the cinnamon flavour and also the batter was overly wet and not fluffy at all. The chicken was crispy and not dry. Well seasoned but didn't go well with the waffles. The eggs were well poached. If you are looking for a quiet and cheaper brunch in downtown then this is the place. They have a reasonably big menu for brunch. read more

We were in C Prime on Christmas Eve. We came just to have some drinks but in the end decided to have dinner. We probably weren't the easiest table! LOL. Our server Carol, was AWESOME. Good natured, professional, efficient service along with the bussers (not sure if that's what you call them these days). Matteo, the manager also excellent. He has a good staff and was very gracious. Loved the New Zealand wine we had and the Turkey was so tender and delicious. Fries were delicious too. I appreciate a place with good service so much in Vancouver, since most places here often lack it. ps just to reiterate because of the service, and the fact that we got to eat in the quiet part of the lounge, we stayed and spent more than we intended to. The only wish I had is that they had a few more options apart from steak and pasta. read more

Great service, nice big room for 11 of us! So private. The starters Antipasti are great! Special the Beet & Ricotta salad and Buratta! read more

Good food good experience here. A lot of choices for the steak and it was superb cooked to perfection. The tuna tartare with bone marrow was great. The mac and cheese was truly amazing! I love it so much. The tiramisu was a great show and was really good too. I definitely recommend getting the tiramisu with the cream complements the bitterness of the coffee so it was made to perfection. Definitely recommend the place! read more

We made a reservation online days prior. We were not greeted by reception at all. He remained on the phone and ignored us. We were seated and it took 15 mins before we received waters. Then another while before they took our order. The tables around us had old food and had not been bussed. The atmosphere was nice but the unbussed tables really were kind of strange. Turn the staff came in about 45 mins later reset all of the tables while we ate. read more

Arrived in town Monday and since staying at the hotel decided to try the in-house restaurant. Pretty much empty so seated immediately. Ordered the grilled octopus for starters, a bit tough cooked too long I'd say. Then the pistachio mint crusted rack of lamb - perfect mid rare. Realized when it was delivered that the Steelers were playing, mentioned it to my server Carrol who moved me to the bar n had the Tv switched to the game, outstanding lady and an NFL fan also. read more

First time I came, wasn't really impressed (precovid.) Came back last month and wow.. food DEF LEFT THAT IMPRESSION!! The bolognese and truffle Mac n cheese were out of this world. All the people at the table really enjoyed it. I would be back for food. But service is mediocre. Server spilled a decent sized amount of water on the table and didn't clean it up.. Didn't check on us often (12 person group.) and the area we were was SO dark. Barely any lights.. why is it SO DIM?? Would give more of a 3.7/5! read more

We came here for the Sunday brunch buffet and found the food to be very mediocre. The hot items were all lukewarm and not very flavorful. The pancakes and waffles were mushy and terrible. We think these may be the worst pancakes we've ever eaten. The roast beef was not great. The only thing that tasted good was the dessert. The cheesecake and the macaroons were moist and fresh. I'd rather spend more for other hotel buffets at H2 or Oceans 999 so I will not be back for the buffet. The buffet runs from 11am to 2pm for $28. read more

Came here for our anniversary and was quite impressed. Firstly, our server was amazing, Julia I think was her name. She did a great job, her timing was always perfect and gave great recommendations! Now the food. To eat, we ordered the lobster rolls, oysters, Waygu strip, a tenderloin steak and the truffle pasta. Absolutely zero complaints, everything was very good, but my Waygu steak was the winner for sure, super flavourful and almost melts in your mouth. The truffle pasta was a close second, so much rich truffle flavour which I loved. Overall a great experience, food was excellent, service was perfect. I'd give C Prime a well deserved 9/10. read more

we actually ended up being so impressed with this restaurant it did exceed our expectations. we had a feeling it would be a good fancy steakhouse to go to to celebrate a special occasion, but sometimes with these types of restaurants, the food doesn't end up being very tasty but this place did not disappoint. The food was amazing. everything was very seasoned. Very flavorful portion sizes were good and I would overall definitely come back here to celebrate something special. Loved this spot. read more

Our server was also the bartender and commented on how much we ordered which was really just a three course meal. We just ordered a side with our steak which was normal? The sides were delicious but the steak was ok. Nothing noteworthy. The ambiance was cozy and nice. But yeah this wasn't the best anniversary dinner. Thanks to our server who made our dining experience less special. read more

I went to this restaurant not expecting much, and i was blown away. The service was impeccable and my server "SAM", was great at providing recommendations And his service was top notch. The food was super delicious and I am definitely coming back for the bone marrow. read more

Really amazing service. Everyone is kind and attentive. Our waitress Judy was phenomenal. There is also a waiter with glasses and I don't know his name but he is so nice. I love how all the waiters work and they don't stick to just their table. Food is fresh and very well done. Come before 5 and you can also get happy hour. We come here every time we come to Vancouver. read more

I was super excited to try this place. After living in hotels for the last 3 months due to a certain Moore and Russel not being able to install a heat pump without completely damaging my home, I was ready for some good food. I asked the server about the steaks and I was excited to see such a huge variety. I ordered the sirloin as I wanted that nice fatty edge, but it is not a true sirloin steak, it had no fat, and was a bit tough. We ordered bread service which is a brioche and seasoned butter, macaroni and cheese, the chefs made us a spaghetti and tomato sauce for our baby, crab tortellini, and the hamburger. The butter had giant salt chunks in it which took away from the flavouring so all you can taste is salt. The steak was cooked properly, but it was a tough piece of meat. The spaghetti was nice, and I do appreciate the chef making it for us. The max and cheese was good, but the French fries were extra salty. Service on the other hand was crap. We saw our server when we got our plates then we never saw him again. I asked two different servers to have our left overs packed to go and it was the third server that did it for us. I let the manager know that I was not happy with the food and the service and she was going to take care of us, but I ate the food so I pay for the food. All and all it was super disappointing. If anyone has a good steak recommendation please send me a message read more

We had an absolutely wonderful time here at C Prime. The pastas were amazing, and so delicious and the pork belly and steak were so good too. Definitely worth checking out, and we will definitely be back again soon. Our server Gilles was so kind and helpful, and definitely made our experience very memorable. read more

I came here for dineout last year and was enticed by the wagyu steak they had as the entree. For the appetizer, I chose calamari and a cheesecake for dessert. In general, the food seemed just average to me and I even think the wagyu steak could have tasted better if treated differently. Service was fine and the restaurant is very nice but quite empty for a weekend night. Feels like this place is average at best.

Food took a bit long but perhaps it was because they wanted to serve all the meals at the same time. I got the Pappardelle ($22) and the truffle flavour was pretty strong, there were different types mushrooms too. The one thing is that the pasta was softer than al dente. There was a good amount of lobster in the Lobster Risotto ($32) but not much in the Cioppino ($37). I didn't try their steaks cause I'm not a steak person so I can't speak about it but people in my party did order them. read more

Fair at best and extremely expensive. It was unfortunately disappointing. The service however was good.

Started with the Dungeness Crab Cake with Lemon Aloli. It was very fresh and full of crab meat. Really very good. Shared two main dishes; an 8oz Wagyu Ribeye steak cooked medium rare and a Lobster Ravioli in a Vodka and Tomato Cream. It was cooked to perfection and the server, Mary, was extremely pleasant, warm and friendly. I would highly recommend this meal choice for those wanting a wonderful Wagyu experience. read more

Brunch was not good. Three things to note: 1) I am a trained chef 2) I am not a picky eater 3) I go out for brunch every Saturday. I ordered the steak and eggs and the steak was terrible tasting. It tasted like it had gone off. Didn't say anything to the server as I couldn't really care, but just finish the other bits of the meal and left. This place puts on a good show with no substance. They are on a permanent time out in the brunch rotations. Won't be going back. read more

Food is fine but service is extremely slow. You have to wait to be seated, you get seated and then have to wait for a menu. You then have to wait for a drink and food order. The refills take a long while and then you have to wait to get the check to payout. There is typical waiting when going to a restaurant however, this far exceeds that wait time in every aspect. You have to ask 3 different people for a water even. I've also heard several people complain they can't get room service as it advertises. Not recommended. read more

Just had the most amazing night here with close friends ! The chef and his menu selections are five star !! The ambiance is lovely and romantic! I love soft Italian music at an Italian restaurant! !! Some of us had the crab tortellini with fresh pasta and it was out of this world !! We sampled the steak and calamari as well as other apples that were beyond compare ! and the presentation is an art in itself !! The service and management were first class ! Go there as soon as you can and take all your friends ! Jane Bailey read more

Came here with friends because of our $25 vouchers. The food was great! We ordered the steak as medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. The salmon was quite small unfortunately. The best part of the meal had to be the truffle fries. The sauce complemented the fries well. The meringue dessert was phenomenal. I forgot the alcoholic drink I got but it was quite on the sweet fruity side. I couldve lived without that. The service was mediocre. The server just talked way too much! read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. My husband and I live across the street and this is our go-to place in Vancouver. We come for their amazing boozy Sunday brunches (eggs bennys are to die for) and fabulous dinners. I don't eat meat but my friends say it's the best steak in Vancouver and very well priced. I order the crab tortellini every time and it is devine! The wine selection is definitely a 10/10 with a fabulous selection that is very well priced. Sam and Judy (they work the dinner hours) are fabulous and charming and always make us feel so welcomed and appreciated. We bring our friends all the time and have never once been disappointed. read more

Came here with some friends and we were not disappointed!! Everyone seemed to really love their dish and they had a wide variety with good portions, and decent prices. I had the pork belly with a side of garlic mash for only $29. It was part of their appetizer menu however it was more than enough food! Staff was amazing and very friendly, providing us with great recommendations! read more

Fantastic service and decent food. Came here for a late dinner because it was the only time we could get a table of four for dineout. Even though we were here for dineout, I was pleasantly surprised to find out we would still get complimentary bread. The bread came out still a bit warm with olives, salt, olive oil, and balsamic. They were even kind enough to offer us more bread since we finished the first round of bread. For my appetizer, I had the stuffed portobello mushroom. It was very creamy and had flavour reminiscent of a cream of mushroom soup. The wagyu was the main reason we came here for dineout. I was a bit disappointed with this because I didn't find it to be as tender and fatty. It was actually quite difficult to cut through the piece of meat. The dessert I chose was the bread pudding. It was pretty good, but it was a bit awkward to eat it on such a large plate. I wish it was in a bowl so it would be easier to scoop with the ice cream. Overall, the food was alright, but the service was better. I don't know how accurate the food from dineout represents the restaurant for their regular food. But I left feeling full. read more

Had a fantastic birthday dinner Friday night at C Prime! It was dine out that evening. The restaurant was busy and buzzing with energy but the service and dinner quality was not compromised! Where do I start ...attentive and knowledgeable staff Judy and Matt, the amazing and creative cocktails from Ultra Cool Chris behind the bar made the evening super fun and finally, compliments to Chef Behshad - delish bone marrow and pork belly starter and for the main ...melt in your mouth braised short ribs. To end things on a high note the birthday dessert plate to seal the evening with perfection ! Thank you C Prime crew !! - cheers! Maris and company . read more

This is by far the longest review I've ever written on Yelp. I've been using Yelp for years. Let me start off by saying, service is a 2 out of 5 stars. The restaurant is located in the Century Plaza Hotel. By booking hotel stays, I was given 3 $25 vouchers that I could use on this restaurant. Due to the service on the first day, I didn't even want to go back by the second or third day. My husband insisted that we go because we only end up paying a few dollars on a meal for two and he's all about taking advantage of saving money. Here's a summary of the three days at this restaurant. Day 1: We were served by an older gentleman. We did not feel welcomed because of his face expression and how monotoned he sounded throughout the whole time we were there. We even tried to start a conversation with the man, but it seems like he didn't want to engage back. However, this did not bother us just yet. When we sat down, the first thing he asked us was if we were using a voucher. That was fine. With our voucher applied, we ended up only paying $10. I told my husband to tip the guy 20% of what the entire bill was (voucher included). The waiter came to our table with a credit card machine and initiated the payment. Once that was complete, the waiter looked down at me awkwardly and walked away. I thought he was going to say thank you or have a great day or something, but he just gave me an awkward stare and walked off. That was when my husband and I started to piece everything together. We decided to look this place up on Yelp and we saw similar reviews about the service here. Day 2: I didn't feel like eating here, but thought I should give it another try. Maybe we would get a different waiter and our experience will be different from the previous day. Our waiter was a younger gentleman. I felt more comfortable as we were greeted with smiles. He was even nice enough to ask how I wanted my eggs cooked. At the end of our meal, my husband presented the voucher. In a rude tone of voice, his response was, "You know you're supposed to give this to me at the time of order." Uh, excuse me sir, we didn't know we were supposed to. We forgot and why does it even matter when we presented the voucher?! I got uncomfortable again so I lied to my husband and told him I'm going to use the bathroom in our hotel room to avoid this awkwardness, while he waited to pay for our meal. Day 3: I really do not want to eat there this time! I told my husband to go eat by himself and I'll wait upstairs. He made me go of course. He said it's our last voucher and our last day in Vancouver so why not. This time our waiter was a woman. She was really nice. I felt welcomed. She was polite throughout our time there. I loved her service (or I thought I did). This time, we made sure to inform her of our voucher before we ordered. Everything went well until the end. We made our payment on the little credit card machine. This time, my husband tipped her 30% of what the bill was supposed to be. He tipped her 30% because she was way better than the previous waiters that we had. Upon payment completion, we looked up at her expecting her to say thanks and have a great day or something, but she just walked away. There was no smile or no acknowledgement. I immediately felt uncomfortable again and got out of there as soon as I could. I didn't say anything about her attitude until my husband mentioned it in the elevator. That's how I knew, he felt the same way too and it's not just me being picky. Food quality: I had the salmon Benedict 3 days in a row. It was pretty good compared to other bene's that I've had. The hollandaise sauce actually had flavor. The English muffins were a bit over toasted. My husband had the pancakes with Nutella. It was delicious as well except that it was overly priced since it was just the pancakes with no other sides. The only time we used the vouchers was during breakfast. We went to the bar once one evening. Bartender was friendly and informative of the different types of drinks. Overall, I feel that waiters/waitresses at this restaurant should get a little bit more training on customer service and etiquette. It seems like once they knew we were going to use a voucher, the service provided changed. I could be wrong, but that's how I felt. With the fair and generous amount of gratuity my husband gave, they should at least acknowledged that part, but instead they made us feel uncomfortable and regret that we even gave that amount. I've been to restaurants that didn't provide good service before but I've never been to one that made me want to get out of there as quick as possible. read more

C Prime - Salmon Benedict was good. I had it 3 days in a row because I'm Bene crazy. I got tired of it by the 3rd day though. - Italian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Went there last evening for an anniversary dinner. The experience was excellent. The food was on the pricey side, but was offset by the most reasonable prices for wine i have seen in any restaurant. The wine list is extensive and the servers are very well educated and able to speak knowledgeably and make good pairing recommendations. The Manager, Tony, also took the time to speak with us and gave us a little something extra to help us celebrate. Our server, Riley was also excellent. The atmosphere is comfortable and the music was subdued, which enables guests to have a decent conversation without having to speak loudly. All in all, a place i would definitely recommend. read more

Restaurant in a hotel I stayed. I used only for breakfast. Good atmosphere, but the services were relatively businesslike tone. Food for breakfast was OK. Surprisingly they served a stake in a restaurant from the morning. I tried it and it was not bad at all. I started a day from the porwerful breakfast. And I tried the salmon benedict. It was pretty good. I enjoyed it. I think this was OK. ホテルの1階にあるレストラン。 朝食をいただいた。 初日はsteak breakfast。 意外にもかなりおいしかった。ちゃんとMedium rare. 2日目はスキップし、3日目にSalmon benedictをいただいた。 これも卵がふんわりとしていて、黄身がトロリとかなり美味しかった。 他の書き込みにあるほどひどいレストランだと言う事はしませんでした。 私にはよかったですよ。ごちそうさまでした。 read more

My third time coming back to C Prime for dinner... And the only reason why I came back is because I didn't wanna waste the two 25-dollar vouchers offered by the hotel. I came in with a friend and we ordered a Wagyu steak, a glass of wine and truffle fries ... Again, we came in just to use the vouchers so we didn't order much... and guess what, we were not treated as other customers who were sitting next to us. No appetizer bread was brought to our table (we had the bread last time we were here using the vouchers but we ordered a little more). And the servers were only running around to serve other tables - No one even cared that my glass of water was almost empty for an hour... Litterally our table was invisible the whole time... I was too nice to even leave tips for the bad service they got! Horrible service!! I don't know how they trained their staff but this is unacceptable!!! I have money to spend, but definitely not here at C Prime! Send your staff to Miku sushi across from Canada Place and watch how they serve their customers! I paid almost $300 for a meal there happily because their service and food quality are just excellent!! Here??? Never coming back even if I was offered a thousand free meals!!! Im giving the 2 star for the food - Wagyu steak is not very special! They over seasoned the meat causing the saltiness to destroy the steak's fatty flavor.... - but again, zero star for their service!!! I will never recommend this place to any of my friends! Stay away from this place!!!!! read more
